Skier Mikaela Shiffrin, 20, born and raised in Colorado, is already an Olympic gold medalist and the youngest slalom champion in Olympic alpine skiing history. "I travel mostly for skiing and feel so lucky to get to do that," she says. "In Europe, I will have a couple days off from training and my mom and I will just kind of pick up and go to Salzburg or Innsbruck. It's fun to go into the city and enjoy the scenery. But sometimes when we have days off, I want to go out and be a tourist, but I also just want to sleep. I have to remind myself that no matter how much I want to go out and have fun, my job is to ski and race." Fans may follow Shiffrin on Facebook at
